SAP can successfully integrate all business functions or can sometimes cost to diminish business flow if not implemented effectively. Despite the application encapsulated with capabilities of delivering real-time analysis, not all SAP ERP implementations are notable. Causes behind failure of SAP implementation projects involve insufficient capturing of business requirements, prolonged business decisions, lack of industry expertise of implementation partner, cost pressure, erroneous configuration, unrealistic SAP expectations and less user adoption following reluctance of employees to change with system.

Business requirements of enterprises are complex in nature. Various areas such as Sales, HR, Finance, Costing, Production, procurement, accounts, etc are integrated seamlessly using SAP ERP. Each of these functions use specialized software.
SAP can seamlessly integrate with such solutions. There are various external agencies which interact with these functions. These agencies include customers, suppliers, banks, investors etc. To interact with these agencies the specialized software like SRM (Supplier Relationship Management), Treasury Management, Investor relationship, Governance risk & compliance, etc need to be integrated using SAP ERP. While interacting with external agencies social media also plays vital role. SAP has encompassing modules which can integrate all these transactions smoothly. This transactional data can be tracked and extracted from system and is reported to management team using business analytics solutions to get end-to-end visibility over business for decision making. The business complexities get enhanced when large business organizations have various unlinked businesses spread over various geographies. SAP modules can help the management to plan these businesses by consolidating at group level for various countries. SAP has solutions to cater such business complexities which can be made part of the integrated SAP architecture.
